Jupiter's Finest.
Zion had a ripping 2025. I like how he can skate handrails along with being able to do inverts and 540s in bowls. I'm not so sure about his golf fascination, but whatever. His backside 180s ollies on street more than make up for the baggage fee to fly golf clubs to Greece.
Back to the grind. I wound up scanning more stuff than I initially planned on for the review of 2025. I guess that's good. I tried to pick out older stuff for the stars of the last year and found a few things. The early to mid 2010s are starting to look more interesting by virtue of the passing of time.
There's a mistake regarding the flame head logo in Thrasher's Spitfire wheels article from the December 2025 issue. The article states that the first appearance of the flame head was in December 1993. Kevin Ancell's creation actually debuted in May of 1992 in a somewhat drab grey ad. I have no idea how to let them know about the error and don't really feel like trying so I'm posting the correction on here.
I've gotten to skateboard three times this year. We've had winter. It hasn't been too bad in terms of snow and cold. There's been a couple warm days, but it rained by the time I was finished with work. The sunsets are getting later at the least. This week unfortunately looks to be bitterly cold. I'm glad I got to skate in the driveway for a while on Sunday afternoon. Even though it was on the chilly side, there was plenty of bright sun so it was fine.
